This is the kind of kid that the nation is going to benefit from whatever happens to Sen. Obama. He has inspired a new generation to take hold of their country and to take a role in its future. This kid is probably a freshmen or soph in college and a member of the college democrats and probably political science major or something and will wind up taking a policy job for lower pay than a business job because he thinks he can change the world. We need more kids like that and I am glad that Sen. Obama is bringing them to the table. I will always remember the words of Dick Durbin who said early, early on in this race that if you ask people around Washington why they got into politics, most of them would say Kennedy. Twenty years from now, it is kids like this that are going to be answering that same question with Obama.

Ben, estimate the temperature outside when you met the young man? Fifteen maybe 20 degrees? And people are questioning if the young people will come out tonight? This kid is tasked to stand in the freezing weather asking people to caucus - not exactly the plum campaign job. But Ted's doing the grassroots grunt work that has to get down in order to secure victory. Way to go TEDDY BALLGAME! If he wasn't fired up and ready to go he'd be an icicle by now.

[[[I'm a nervous wreck Obama guy. This visual doesn't help. Expectations have been built up so high ... I'm freakin. I can't wait for the day to be over.]]] Look young man, Obama is from a neighboring state, plus Iowans do not elect women to office. Enjoy tonight (an Obama win) but get ready for a big time fight in the coming month. I predict the Dem party will come unglued with negativity from all the candidates.

Thanks for the 'young man' reference slick willie. I'm actually pushing 40. I'm also an ex-republican who feels like we are sitting on the cusp of history. I wish I shared your confidence. The stakes are so high for our country. A Hillary win would be devasting for so many reasons. It could all end so ugly in Iowa.

I am waiting for Obama in New hampsire to see whether he is equally going to buy votes as he is currently doing in Iowa. I am the most worried democrat this time not because I am afraid Obama would win but because our democracy is in shambles and that America wil again be the laughing stock of the world just like during Katrina.

I must have taken a wrong turn in getting to this left-wing circle-jerk, but I found myself rolling on the floor amid gales of my own laughter after reading the maudlin, nauseatingly naive comments. Especially Magna Carta. That's too rich. Change the world? Yeah, expedite our country's slide into marxism and depravity, and strip us of our national identity. That's the ticket! Holy Frijole.

slickwillie -- it's not true that Iowa Dems do not elect women as the nominee. Jake Tapper at ABC had a long list of women Democrats voted for as their nominee. The problem so far is that in a GENERAL election, no woman has yet won the state. So with this spin, basically Hillary is saying while I can win the caucus, I am unlikely to take the state of Iowa in the GE.

Myeeh...it's just some kid from a talent agency they hired to stand in front of the Media Hole to give the desired impression of young, apple cheeked, wholesome, idealistic....bla, bla, bla. They kid probably never heard of Obama until he got the gig, and only took it because it got him half way to L.A.

"marxism and depravity" LOL. It seems the perverted right-wingers have cornered the market on fascism and depravity dude. How many Democratic senators or congressmen or clergy have been busted with gay masseuses, soliciting gay sex in airport restrooms or have appeared in brothel phone books? How many Repugnantcan congressmen and women have sat idly by while Bush and Cheney chip away at the Constitution? Almost all of them. Glad Mukasey has ordered that probe of the CIA. Wonder how many times Dick Cheney phones over asking to see the charred remains of the memory discs? The Repugnantcans do not hold the high ground morals, fiscal responsibility or national defense any longer. That's why the GOP will get spanked next November.
